Cruz slams Trump’s ‘PC’ stance on transgender public bathrooms

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Thursday said front-runner Donald Trump had defied “common sense” and embraced political correctness by coming out against North Carolina’s law barring people from using public restrooms of the opposite sex.

“He said he thought men should be able to go into the girls bathroom if they want,” scoffed Mr. Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas. “Let me ask you, have we going stark raving mad? This is political correctness. This is nonsense.”

The Trumpsters willingly admit they know Donald Trump is not a Conservative.

That's what you get with a TransRepublican.

[Trumpinator]

According to the Human Rights bunch, the % of the US population is......03%....Anyone that decides a presidential election on that does not belong in a voting booth, but on a psychiatrist’s couch.

I bet that it is less than that. You have a greater chance of being killed by an illegal alien than seeing a trans person in a public restroom. You have a greater chance your job is outsourced than seeing a trans person in a bathroom. I live in NYC - in Manhattan no less - and I have never seen one in a public bathroom.

And, to you, grown, perverted and mentally ill men in the same bathrooms with young girls is also irrelevant. What other wonderful things do you want for society?

If someone is transgendered and thinks they are a woman, are they automatically attracted to women? Same-Sex pedophiles are what is of a bigger concern when it comes to public bathrooms.

Mental issue? Absolutely.

Gay? Not necessarily.

Well, if he believe the same things as the Orange One, he apparently believes that women who get abortions should be punished, but that federal funding of Planned Parenthood is a good thing because they do great things for women's health... He apparently believes that the federal debt is a bad thing, but doesn't think we need to reform Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare, even though those are the biggest drivers of the growth of the debt.. Apparently he believes the "rich" are not paying enough in taxes, even though the top 5% pay over 60% of the federal taxes.

GREAT question!!!

Likely, the most liberal, anything to win candidate we have ever seen.

Which of course, will net a loss, because if your choice is liberal Clinton/Sanders or liberal Trump... gonna lead to a landslide defeat of Trump.
Period.

If Trump gets the nomination, the RATs win in November.
Period.

Thank God Cruz kicks his rear at the convention on the second ballot.

[Quickgun]

You are correct.

[JoSixChip]

Trump can’t or won’t stand up to perverts but he’ll stand firm against the massive forces of the left to build a wall

He's been standing-up against some pretty massive forces for a year now, who else has ever done that?

[Mase]

Laws are made to serve as deterrents. Now that men will be allowed into the girl's bathrooms and locker rooms there is no deterrent. The law will allow them to be there, but you don't see anything wrong with that? Yeah, what could possibly go wrong from making it legal to deny their right to privacy and allow, by law and without consequences, perverted and mentally ill men to hang out with little girls in the bathroom?

This isn't an issue of politics. It's about right and wrong. Some people lack the common sense necessary to see that this is wrong. Others will do anything to protect their candidate. Both are pathetic.

[proust]

Ahh the magical second ballot. Rainbows and unicorns as well.

[arl295]

they already are

Do you believe the laws stop the perverts?

They don’t

the problem is the liberals want to make this “legal” so police can’t arrest the perverts easily

Nobody cares about the rare transgender person using the bathroom. the liberals want to make this a “right” and it should not be

Conservatives want to make this illegal and create the national Potty Pecker Police force that will stand outside every restrooms checking to make sure you don’t have one.

I would rather we do nothing

We don’t need the federal government involve in the bathroom

Oh yes. G-d's Laws are so trivial and unimportant compared to the abomination of Mexicans in this country! [/sarcasm]

[tirednvirginia]

The dykes are more dangerous in a woman’s restroom than the transgender who identifes as a woman. They aren’t interested in women or little girls.

[HarleyLady27]

You Cruz people get your panties in a wad almost every minute of every day...

It was a ‘gotta question’ by a media whore who wanted 15 minutes of fame and look what he has gotten...

Since when does a president decide all these things? Who was it that passed the gay laws? The House and Senate...is Trump running for the House or Senate? NO...he ‘s running for POTUS, so take your 5 minutes of fame for your precious Cruz who by the way is done, over, nata, zilch, stick a fork in him, and skip merrily along your way...

Me, I like Trump, do I always agree with what he says? hell no, I don't even agree with everything the Pope says, but I'm Catholic and going to stay that way, so your opinion about Cruz matter to me ZILCH...go support the person who isn't eligible to even be Senator, your choice but don't tell me or cyber bully me into thinking your way, it aint goin to happen!!!

[Mase]

So why won't he stand up against a small number of perverts and simply state what we all know to be true?

He's trying to play all sides of an issue, which is what he has always done, and it will mean his key promises never come into being. He's more interested in the adulation of the masses than he is with doing the right thing. I see it now, but it's going to take longer for others.

[arl295]

Why change national focus on to this made up issue?

We have bigger fish to fry

Transgender using the potty is not a national concern

[Mase]

That's right. Making a law that allows perverts in the bathrooms without any consequences is no different than what we have today. The fear of getting caught breaking the law does not serve as a deterrent in any way, shape or form. Only losers think this way. Parents just need to buck up. The state is pro-family and does so much to protect kids already, especially the pre-born.

Anyone who disagrees with me is a loser.

[Mears]

“Do you believe the laws stop the perverts?”

—

Of course not——but they sure as heck keep some control on them as far as this issue goes.

Movie theaters and malls where teen aged girls are likely to be will be like hunting grounds and they are bad enough now.

[conservativejoy]

We seem to be cultivating a society in which our kids are not safe anywhere. I don’t want to send my grand daughters or grandsons to the restroom unsupervised in any public place.

[Mase]

The only consistency is his inconsistency. The mind boggles.....

[Trumpinator]

Illegals cause more serious abominations like murder and rape and theft compared to an almost zero percent population of trans people using public bathrooms.

I repeat: You have a greater chance of being killed/robbed/raped by an illegal alien than seeing a trans person in a public restroom. You have a greater chance your job is outsourced than seeing a trans person in a bathroom. I live in NYC - in Manhattan no less - and I have never seen one in a public bathroom.
